Why Trust Us

Evidence over hype

We exist to answer one question: will this seat fit your car, your child, and your routine for years? Our recommendations are anchored in manufacturer instructions, public safety standards, and hands‑on, vehicle‑by‑vehicle verification—not marketing claims.

Who builds our guides

• CPST‑led team: Our lead editor is a certified Child Passenger Safety Technician who trains our process and reviews safety‑critical content for clarity and compliance.
• Vehicle fit specialists: We test across real vehicles to document headrest interference, recline angles, LATCH spacing, belt geometry, and tether routes.
• Data and durability editors: We validate dimensions with manufacturers, track cover removal steps and spare‑part availability, and model value‑per‑year outcomes.

How we earn your confidence

• Transparent methods: We publish how we measure, what we test, and what we don’t. If we can’t verify a claim, we say so.
• Repeatable installs: We prioritize seats that achieve tight installs quickly with clear belt paths and harness adjustments that stay smooth over time.
• Long‑term usability: We weigh extended rear‑facing capacity, tall top slots for forward‑facing, fabric breathability, and cleaning workflows—because daily life matters.

Our content complements, not replaces, your manuals or an in‑person check with a certified technician. Safety starts with following manufacturer instructions exactly.
